'Stop And Frisk' Works, Chicago Should 'Strongly Consider' It

The Justice Department denied that Rosenstein had proposed invoking the 25th Amendment of the Constitution and issued a statement that said the remark about recording the president was meant sarcastically.

Trump and Rosenstein met for about 30 minutes during the flight, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said, declining to provide further details about the private discussion other than to say that Rosenstein still had a job.

Should Rosenstein quit or be fired, his departure would be nearly certain to raise controversy, as he is the top Justice Department official overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian Federation to sway the 2016 election.

Asked by a reporter on Monday if he had any plans to fire Rosenstein, Trump said: "No I don't, no".

"I have directed the attorney general's office to immediately go to the great City of Chicago to help straighten out the bad shooting wave", Trump said.

"So, while resources are always welcome, the idea of what President Trump is talking about is not only not welcome - it's antithetical to what we're working on, and that is about a strong, pro-active, professional police department".

A planned meeting between Rosenstein and Trump was canceled and no new date was set.

The White House says that the President's Monday appearance was not a campaign rally, despite the fact that he has thrown his support behind Governor Rick Scott's run for Senate and Florida Republican Gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis. He survived again on Monday.

Chicago police officials said they doubted that conversation ever took place.

But even as Trump has chose to leave Rosenstein in place - for now - the matter of what Rosenstein said and proposed doing likely will remain a political issues heading into the homestretch of the midterms - and beyond.

During Trump's first month in office, he made the same point about police being unable to act due to constraints, saying the problem would be "easy" to solve but for political correctness.

"We are pushing very hard to make sure that he comes in under oath to Congress and let the American people judge for themselves", House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., told Fox News late last month.
